"Bye Greige, "Macy and Arielle waved at a pup who was getting carried by his father.
The male shifted to a black wolf and took off with his kid clinging to him for dear life. Usually their heir breeding pairs(females) took care of bringing the pups home but since the appearance of the monstrous wolf, almost all the males came to pick their kids leaving their mate in the safety of their homes.
It was already 9:00 pm which was the closing time for the care. Arielle and Macy chatted as they walked to the gate, Macy could not hide hid the fact that she was a bit afraid of Arielle. She would laugh nervously when Arielle got too close and shifted ay districtly.
"I miss Alejandro, "Macy said, she smiled as the thoughts of the one she mentioned flashed her mind, her wolf purred and begged that they go see him, "I don't care if it's dangerous out there, I must see him tonight."
Arielle pursed her lips, since she is the danger everyone is avoiding, she might as well encourage Macy to leave, "you should, I don't know how the mate bond works with other species but am sure your mate misses you as well, "she said.
Alejandro is a werePanther, unlike werewolves werePanthers don't move in packs. He hated that Macy didn't want to leave her pack and elope with him even after all the maltreatment. Macy's leaving her family was out of the equation, she would only leave if her family will come with her.
Macy was surprised by Arielle's suggestion, "okay? If you say so, " she muttered with uncertainty. The Arielle she knew would never advise her to go into the woods alone, especially after last night.
It was already dark and the half-moon was out. Arielle shut her eyes, lifting her head, she smiled, her mother was sending her energy through the moon's rays. Macy who is walking beside her looked up to the moon in the manner in which Arielle was doing and shut her eyes as well. She opens them almost immediately and sighed in annoyance, "what the hell are you doing?" she asked.
Arielle chuckled but didn't reply, werewolves are attracted to the moon especially when it's full. When it's half or crescent, it gave minimal power although the half-moon is more powerful than the crescent.
Howling could be heard from outside the fences of the pup care, most of it belonging to the sentinels who are patrolling but this time they are mixed with warrior wolves, Arielle internally rolled her eyes, do they think she would attack her pack? But she couldn't blame them because they don't know she is the Ultima wolf.
On getting outside, Macy and Arielle met two boys standing in front of the gate. The young men weren't people that they didn't know, the brown-haired boy with freckles on the left is Ethan and the one on the right is Dawson, both men were wearing the same colored black jeans, signature colour for hunters.
Macy glared at Dawson and hissed, she shifts her gaze to Ethan, "what is he doing here?" she pointed at Dawson.
Ethan scratched the back of his head, replying, "he volunteered to tag along."
Arielle who was behind Macy revealed herself, "why are you here anyway, "she asked with a straight face.
Ethan felt butterflies in his belly and was a little scared but he had to reply to the girl that owns his heart, "Jeremy and Jed ask that I come to walk you, girls, home, Treize called for a family meeting that's why they couldn't come themselves, "He explained, he glanced at his partner, adding, "as, for Dawson, he just wanted to help."
"Aren't you part of the Alpha family as well?"Arielle asked with a brow high.
"I am but I told Treize that the hunters needed me, "Ethan said and shrugged, "it's not like am needed anyways."
"Hmmm, "Macy's tight lip smiled, "in that case, I must halt you here, I don't need a bodyguard especially, "she sneered at Dawson, "one that is a damn pig!"She spat.
Macy's hatred for Dawson started years ago when he and his gang humiliated her on one special occasion. He had begged and even explained the reasons for his actions but Macy was still headstrong on forgiveness.
Arielle facepalmed, sighing she said using her alpha tone which is a note deeper, "you know what? This is what we'll do, Macy and I were on our way to visit Ralph, Dawson you will walk Macy to wherever she wants you to and return if she says she no longer needs your company. I have no plans of going home after leaving the hospital so Ethan , you will accompany me to the packhouse."
They all gulped and nodded willingly. None could explain what just happened all they knew was that they couldn't refuse Arielle.
On getting to the hospital, specifically the room Ralph was in, the gang paused as the scent of sex pheromones filled the air and a muffled sound of a female moaning could be heard.
Meanwhile inside the ward...
"You like that don't you, "Ralph said with smirk and a honeyed voice.
"Hmmm, "Vedika withered under him, her eyes were closed and she was biting her lips seductively as her mate's fingers explored her cores.
"Naughty girl, "Ralph whispered in Vedika's right ear, sloppily he traced his tongue down to the point where he marked her and sucked the spot.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh, "Vedika cried, her mate was driving her crazy. He was on top of her, slanting to the side making way for his hand to get in her skirt. Ralph was at two fingers but now he made it three and intensifies his movement...
Macy and Arielle gave each other a look, "should we?" they broke their sentence in unison then looked at the door, "but Vedika asked that we come, "they said together again. They stared at the door for a moment then glanced at boys whose ears were red, nodding confidently they affirmed, "we should."
Arielle took a step further and hesitated before knocking, in response a male grumpily asked, "who is there?"
Arielle swallowed a lump, not that she was afraid but it was a known fact that werewolves got aggressive if they get interrupted while copulating with their mates, "it's Arielle, am a friend of Vedika's I am here with another friend of hers, Macy, "she said.
With their heightened hearing the gang could hear the couple scattering or arranging something. Minutes later they heard the male say again, "you girls can come in." Since he was specific, Ethan and Dawson knew they weren't invited.
The sex pheromones that smelt feminine had completely reduced while the male owners were still eminent. Ralph was aware of the two males outside so he decided to warn them that the female was his and that they were interrupting.
Vedika's face was flushed as she greeted, "hi girls thank you for coming."
Macy and Arielle stood at the door with an awkward smile plastered on their faces, "you are welcome, sorry for interrupting, "Macy said, expecting to get a, ' No it's fine, ' from the frowning half-naked man but instead she got a low toned, "okay."
Glancing at Arielle, Ralph felt suddenly cold and goosebumps lined up on his skin. The one that sent him to the hospital shifted her gaze away from him feeling guilt, <"Energìa why are you looking at him like that, he'd suspect us!">Arielle berated to her wolf . Energìa was looking at Ralph from head to toe to see his so-called injuries but was unconsciously looking at his wolf as well although the wolf couldn't see her.
"So how is his health now, "Arielle asked Vedika instead of the patient.
Vedika on the other hand was a bit distracted by her mate's sudden tight grip of her hand, she was sitting beside him with her legs on the ground and his in the bed. The ward looked like that of a regular hospital with monitors by the side although they weren't plugged to her mate.
Reassuring him, she tightened her grip of their entangled fingers, faking a smile she replied, "the salutary said Ralph is alright but is just keeping under observation because of some prehistoric nonsense , "she quotes with her free hand, "the Ultima wolf being able to permanently damage a wolf even after the wolf heals, according to him, the monstrosity is gifted by the gods and that no one escapes its clutches, "Vedika's eyes look heavenwards as she added, "ridiculous."
"Hahaha, "Arielle nervously laughed, "ridiculous indeed, " immediately she asked her wolf,<"is that true Energìa? Answer me!">
<"Relax, ">Energìa said calmly, <"that can only happen if I have the intention of killing him.">
Done chatting with the patient's wife Arielle and Macy takes their leave. Macy humphed as she passed her escort while he followed behind her cautiously.
